That day, Sisi was just following alongside Young Master Zhang and his group, but at the ti, Zhou Wang’s attention was all on Su Yajing, and his mory had already faded a bit.

The third eting was in Hang City, where both Sisi and Lele were present, right in that AmbréCie Po Restaurant. While completing the second Hidden Round, Zhou Wang, using [Ali’s Conch], could hear everyone’s inner thoughts.

At that mont, Sisi had made a complaint about her friend nad Lele...

It was this thought that reminded Zhou Wang of where he had seen the Liao Chief he t in White City.

In that sa restaurant, the middle-aged man dining with these two girls was none other than Liao Jianli, the real estate mogul from Beidou.

This confird for Zhou Wang that the familiar figure he had just seen at the restaurant entrance must have been Liao Jianli.

Quite a coincidence...

If that’s the case, then he’s the CEO of Qiangsheng Real Estate. Zhou Wang had forgotten to take a look at the business card; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so clueless now.

At that mont, a commotion suddenly erupted at the restaurant’s entrance. Zhou Wang turned his head to glance over, just in ti to see a group of people coming in. At the front, accompanying another man, was indeed Liao Jianli.

Behind him were Qu Jie, Wang Feiyu, and their parents.

Seeing Liao Jianli appear, Lele, who was already a bit impatient, called out to Sisi, "Alright, Sisi, stop reminiscing, Brother Liao is here. Let’s hurry over."

"Yeah, alright... Momo, we’re leaving now, I’ll catch up with you later for a chat."

Sisi also noticed the group of people entering the restaurant and was too preoccupied to talk to Jiang Mo, quickly joining in.

Lele gave Jiang Mo an ambiguous glance before pulling Sisi towards them hurriedly, rushing with quick steps... Judging by the reaction of the many guests in the restaurant, they might not be able to squeeze in if they were late.

After the two girls left, Jiang Mo finally noticed Zhou Wang standing not far away. She walked over, curiously observing Zhou Wang in his rare stunned state.

"Honey, what are you looking at?"

Zhou Wang couldn’t snap back to reality for a mont. He was just staring at the man entering with Liao Jianli, and a silent roar erupted in his vision—

Characters from [mory Gear] overlapped with reality in that instant, making the whole world blur montarily, then beca clear.

Wang Ruixi!

The man who worked at the embassy, who personally proposed a certain plan to him, how did he appear here?

Just then, Zhou Wang heard the system prompt.

Ding!

[Host has first intersected with a ’character’ from mory, triggering an adventure, opening a Hidden Round—Secret and Great: Prologue]

[Adventure object automatically bound: Wang Ruixi]

[Secret and Great: Prologue—Please have a solo dialogue with the target character Wang Ruixi according to the system’s suggested keywords. Depending on the completion level of the dialogue and the host’s performance, different levels of rewards will be given.]

[Have you ever thought you could live another kind of life?]

["I am the chosen one, the only one."]

...

Another Hidden Round!

Zhou Wang didn’t expect this Hidden Round to co so suddenly. Moreover, it seed that it no longer required him to explore human nature or the opposite sex but to... explore himself.

Upon looking at the data provided by the system, Zhou Wang was sowhat surprised.

Wang Ruixi was no longer the embassy worker in his mory but had beco the president of the Cloud Trust Huaxia Foundation!

The change in his identity must have occurred within the past two years, and it was clear that it had a significant connection to himself.

But here arose the problem. Without completing the collection of [mory Gear], Zhou Wang had no idea what had happened in those two years. However, it was evident from Wang Ruixi’s perspective that he was certainly very familiar with him.

Perhaps, it was Wang Ruixi who helped "him" return to the country.

The system had already specified that to complete this Hidden Round, he must engage in a crucial one-on-one dialogue with Wang Ruixi.

And... he couldn’t reveal any glaring flaws.

Damn, it seed really challenging.

The [Angel and Demon] Hidden Round felt a lot more comfortable; he just needed to focus entirely on having fun.

But, no matter what, Zhou Wang couldn’t miss this opportunity. Who knew when the system would next reward the [mory Gear], and through Wang Ruixi, he would undoubtedly learn more about "another self’s" experiences.

Still, how this conversation should proceed required Zhou Wang to ponder carefully.

A mont later, as the guests in the hall surged toward the entrance, Zhou Wang ca back to his senses and realized that his senior was standing by, looking at him with concern.

He squeezed Jiang Mo’s smooth hand, shook his head to indicate he was fine, but rembered sothing and casually reminded:

"Senior, that Sisi and her girlfriend don’t give a good feeling. You’d better not associate with them."

"I understand."

Jiang Mo nodded gently.

Zhou Wang knew his remark was sowhat redundant. Since Jiang Mo could detect Ding Yi’s concealed intentions, Sisi’s sincerity in being her friend should also be clear to her.

So, Zhou Wang just offered the advice and said no more.

...

In fact, among the guests present, most people hadn’t heard of Wang Ruixi or the reputation of "Cloud Trust."
